Bears fans had to endure a dose of “Bad Jay” this past Sunday in the Motor City. Before we all go jumping out of our basement windows, let’s analyze the Jeckyl & Hyde act that is our beloved #6.
Including Sunday, Cutler has thrown 3 or more interceptions 8 times in his career. Not surprisingly, Cutler’s team is 0-8 in those contests. What is interesting to note, is that Cutler is 6-1 following those “Bad Jay” games.
